"You still need to remind me, you think I'm stupid!"
Cute people are cute even when they roll their eyes.
Wang Shuang refused to accept it, "If you are not stupid, who is stupid? You have a strong mouth, but you are actually a paper tiger. If anyone treats you a little better, you can't wait to tear your heart out right away."
Wen Ying happened to hear this sentence and agreed with it deeply.
After having in-depth contact with Li Mengjiao, Wen Ying realized that he was a fool.
The family is too protective and life goes smoothly, but the vigilance is not enough.
Li Mengjiao was so shy and annoyed that she punched Wang Shuang several times. Just as the game was about to start, Wen Ying and others were asked to leave the backstage.
Wen Ying and Xie Qian were walking at the back, and Xie Qian suddenly spoke:
"It's unlikely that Li Mengjiao will win tonight."
Wen Ying was surprised, "Why do you say that? The judges all like Li Mengjiao. She is also very popular outside the court. She should have a great chance of winning the championship. Didn't you hear? Because of Li Mengjiao's existence, other people including Xu Mei
The players have no confidence in tonight’s game.”
Xie Qian shook his head: "Things shouldn't be viewed this way. TV stations have to consider ratings and social impact. Li Mengjiao is too young."
Is Li Mengjiao capable?
there must be.
However, her appearance and age may lead people to think that she is not as strong as other contestants and that she relies on being cute and cute to win.
Regardless of Producer Yan's enthusiasm for Xie Qian, he only considers the ratings of the program at work. Even if Producer Yan favors Li Mengjiao, this is a talent show hosted by Mango Channel after all, and Chengdu Channel is only co-organizing it.
Although Li Mengjiao won the championship, it certainly met the expectations of some viewers, but if Li Mengjiao did not win, tonight's game would be even more unexpected, with a huge reversal and aroused greater discussion.
Xie Qian's words made Wen Ying silent.
Wen Ying suddenly remembered that the 04-level Super Girl in her previous life was a player of the same type as Li Mengjiao. She was also a minor and very popular outside the court. She had a loud voice to win the championship before the finals. However, there was a reversal in the finals and she only won one.
runner up.
If Mango Channel had not changed the competition system, the runner-up would not even be eligible to go to Hunan Province to participate in the annual finals!
If Li Mengjiao cannot become the champion, who is most likely to win?
——It’s Xu Mei!
Xu Mei's popularity is second only to Li Mengjiao.
Li Mengjiao is a middle school student, and Xu Mei is a college student.
When minors and adults are put together, the latter wins the championship and convinces the crowd even more.
Xu Mei is not as popular as Li Mengjiao, but her appearance is no worse than Li Mengjiao. If she enters the entertainment industry in the future, she may even have an advantage over Li Mengjiao.
When TV stations organize talent competitions, in addition to earning advertising and naming fees, the contestants who win the competition are also a cash cow. Perhaps Xu Mei has more commercial value in the eyes of the organizers of Super Girl.
Wen Ying thought along Xie Qian's train of thought and found that she had no way to refute.
The live broadcast started in 20 minutes, but what Wen Ying didn't know was that just as she and Xie Qian left, producer Yan brought several people backstage.
These people held contracts in their hands. When they got backstage, they went straight to the top five players and persuaded them to sign.
Li Mengjiao's mother frowned after hearing the purpose of these people's visit: "It's so urgent, do you have to sign tonight?"
"Yes, I'll sign tonight. Contestant Li Mengjiao is a minor. As her guardian, you can sign on her behalf. We have formulated a complete plan to turn each contestant into a rising star in the music industry based on their characteristics.
She is so popular that as long as we give her a little more push, it is possible that she will become famous all over the country!"
Some people are really born to be obvious prospects, such as Li Mengjiao, the favorite to win the championship in the Chengdu Division.
Young age and high popularity indicate strong plasticity.
Whether it is to make quick money in the short term or to cultivate a long-term cash cow, it has great potential.
Li's mother took a rough look at the contract and didn't refuse at all. She said more tactfully: "After tonight's game is over, I will discuss it with Mengjiao's father."
In her heart, Mother Li refused to sign the contract.
Businessmen do not engage in loss-making transactions. As long as it is a contract, the company cannot unilaterally cultivate Li Mengjiao and will definitely ask for rewards from Li Mengjiao.
What Li Mengjiao can do is to consume her little bit of popularity, obey the company's arrangements, and participate in commercial performances one after another to make money.
How can that work!
The family agreed to Li Mengjiao's participation in the talent show because Li Mengjiao likes singing and dancing. However, Li's mother disagreed ten thousand times when they asked her underage daughter to sign a contract with a company and earn money through commercial performances.
Although the Li family is not rich, they are not so poor that Li Mengjiao has to delay her studies to support the family.
What Li's mother thinks is that after participating in the Supergirl competition, her daughter's life should return to normal.
The couple didn't have much expectations for Li Mengjiao. They just thought that Li Mengjiao could go to college and that her family would arrange a leisurely job after graduation. It didn't matter how much she earned. The couple would just work harder and save enough money for their daughter.
Li's mother politely refused, and the person who persuaded her to sign the contract immediately had a bad expression.
Producer Yan tried to smooth things over: "For such a big matter, it's time for both parents to sit down and discuss it together. Can we wait until the game is over tonight?"
It took a lot of effort to persuade the person who wanted to sign the contract. This person was not happy, and so was Li’s mother.
This is not the first time tonight that the matter of signing a contract has been brought up. As early as after the 7th to 5th promotion game, someone came to see the top 5 players.
The company's attitude is voluntary and will never force players to sign. Qin Yi firmly opposed Xu Mei's signing, and the remaining top four players did not sign.
Unexpectedly, this company did not give up and chose to go backstage with the contract 20 minutes before the final live broadcast.
Mother Li's heart was on fire: Is this a contract? It's clearly a threat!
Will disobedient players not be able to win the championship?
Mother Li insisted not to sign the contract, but the other party immediately changed the target. Mother Li sighed: "Jiaojiao, don't blame mother."
Wen Ying and Wang Shuang both felt that Li Mengjiao was a fool. A fool could make friends like him and have his own way of living. At this moment, Li Mengjiao's reaction was a bit wise and foolish, although she didn't think as much as her mother.
But he didn’t do the opposite to his biological mother.
"Why should I blame you? Mom, you won't harm me. I will listen to you and my dad whether to sign or not!"
Mother Li was very pleased and carefully arranged Li Mengjiao's collar: "I'll go on stage and sing well later. Don't worry about anything else."
On the other hand, Qin Yi was not as refreshed as Mama Li.
Xu Mei wants to sign a contract!
Qin Yi pulled Xu Mei aside and said, "You can't sign this contract. It's too harsh on you players. It's not mutual benefit, it's unilateral oppression. And after signing the contract, you have to cooperate with the company's performance arrangements. How can your studies be done?"
Don’t want it anymore?”
This contract is a typical contract for newcomers in the entertainment industry. The company takes a high percentage, but there are many restrictions on the players. If the players want to terminate the contract, they have to pay sky-high liquidated damages!
After the 7th to 5th round, this contract was placed in front of the top five players in the Chengdu Division, and Qin Yi was the first to stand up and refuse.
Now there are still ten minutes left for the live broadcast of the finals, and the contract has been obtained again, making it clear that the contract will be bought and sold by force.
If the top five players don't sign, no matter how displeased the organizer is, the matter can be postponed. The live broadcast of tonight's final will begin immediately, and the organizer cannot cancel it temporarily.
Xu Mei lowered his head and said nothing. Qin Yi thought of Xu Mei's hard work after participating in the competition, and finally took a step back: "If you really want to enter the entertainment industry, after the competition is over, let's choose a slightly better company together.
I can think of a way at home—"
Xu Mei seemed to have been stabbed.
"Qin Yi, I don't want to use your family's connections. If I want to enter the entertainment industry, I just want to rely on myself."
